New or used?

 

Sorry forgot to put what it will be. 96-98.4 12v either 2500 or 3500. Cant decide yet. Used of course.

 

That's two questions Hoss........

Seriously though,
If Used?
What will you use it for?
Milage,
Have it run through Carfax (for possible damage reports), AND Dodge's service computer system (to be sure the previous owner didn't void the warranty before trading it in).
Accessories that you feel are MUST HAVES vs Nice to haves.

Others will jump in shortly ;D

 

Try this link (from this forum): what to look for in used Cummins

 

How should I address the KDP in normal people terms not diesel heads like us?

 

Carfax is a joke in some cases, because they only have imformation that is reported to them. I've got a 93 drw and I bought it from a fellow who rebuilt it from a wreck, new front end clip ect.. When looking to buy a used car for my wife I decided to use carfax. I ran the VIN on my truck for the heck of it and it came clean.

Makes you wonder bout these used trucks/cars dont it?

 

The owner of Wasatch Body shop that fixed my truck said that 95% of the cars on the road have been in the body shop for something. I gues it could be that high, who knows? If a fender has been repaired, is that considered wrecked? Everybody has their own individual opinions on what is wrecked and what's not. LE
